Problems solved by technology
Current hospital and clinical information systems are inefficient and time consuming to use.
Typical information systems and methods are not configurable based on the preferences of a user or other criteria.
In addition, current patient information systems and methods are inefficient and time consuming to use because the systems and methods are generally independent from a patient's historical information.
Currently, it is difficult for a clinician to view information about prior visits for a patient and clinical data associated with prior visits.
Such low bandwidth access may not be equipped to handle the large data files the CIV may attempt to communicate.
Accordingly, the low bandwidth users may not be able to connect to the CIV application.
Accordingly, current medical information systems and methods are inefficient, and time consuming.

Embodiment Construction
[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 for manipulating and displaying medical information. The system 100 includes a computer unit 110. The computer unit 110 may be any equipment or software that permits electronic data and / or electronic medical images, such as x-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI, EBT, MR, or nuclear medicine for example, to be electronically acquired, stored, or transmitted for viewing and operation. The computer unit 110 may receive input from a user. The computer unit 110 may be connected to other devices as part of an electronic network. In FIG. 1, the connection to the network is represented by line 105. The computer unit 110 may be connected to network 105 physically, by a wire, or through a wireless medium. The computer unit 110 may represent any electronic hardware and / or software that may be used in any embodiment of the present invention.
[0026] The system 100 also includes an input unit 120. The input unit 120 may be a console having a track ball 122 and keyboard...

A system and method for managing information is disclosed. The method may include configuring a list of patients based on specified criteria and accessing patient data for a specific patient from the list of patients. The list of patients may include the name of at least one patient and various information associated with the patient, for example a status indicator and / or an alert indicator. Additionally, the name of a patient may be classified as confidential. The patients classified as confidential may be assigned an alias name to be displayed in the list of patients in place of the real name of the patient. The identity of a user may be associated with user permissions. The method may also include selecting a mode of operation based on a connection speed. The step of selecting may be performed by a user or by computer software.
